There is no generic founder journey. Your next best move depends on where you stand right now.
Not an interview.
A working session.
Each episode starts with a real founder, a real business, and a real inflection point. Scott and a stage-matched specialist unpack what is working, what is getting in the way, and what the next chapter could be worth.
